What makes Plantskydd repellent effective?

Plantskydd works by emitting an odor that animals associate with predator activity, repelling the animal before it nibbles on plants. The odor is not unpleasant to the applicator.

Research has proven that odor-based repellents are more effective than other repellent systems- where the animal needs to taste treated plants before being repelled. Once animals are attracted to an area and begin feeding, it is more difficult to discourage them from returning. Plantskydd stimulates a fear-based response which will have them looking for somewhere else to dine.

Plantskydd’s long-term effectiveness is attributable to its tenacity in sticking to plants—even under
severe snow/rainfall conditions—up to 6 months over winter, 3-4 months in spring/summer.

Plantskydd is RAIN FAST IN 24 HOURS and repels by odor that is not unpleasant to applicators.

After several years of field trials and success stories in the forest industry, Plantskydd is now available for home garden use.

Marlene Johnston of Orofino, Idaho wrote:

“I just want to tell you about my experience with using Plantskydd® on my irises and roses. Last August I replanted my entire iris garden – 350 varieties. The last time I did that 4 years ago, deer came in and pulled up over 70 newly planted varieties, scattering labels and rhizome all over the beds.

Last year, after a reforestation project, we had a bag of Plantskydd® deer repellant left. I spoke with a Plantskydd® representative and he stated that, while no research on using the product of irises was available, I could test it on my irises and recommended that I use it at half strength, I did so, and although I saw some evidence of deer in the bed before applying Plantskydd®, there was NO further evidence of deer visiting my iris garden. None at all. I had some extra Plantskydd® left and sprayed about 40 rose bushes and had only two nibbles and then they were also left alone. I was finally able to enjoy my roses.”
